El Silbón

El Silbón (The Whistler) is a legendary figure in Colombia[citation needed] and Venezuela, associated especially with Los Llanos region, usually described as a lost soul.

[3] Many inhabitants of Los Llanos say that they have seen it, primarily in the summer, a time when the Venezuelan savannah burns in the harsh drought.

But it is mainly on rainy or humid days that the spirit wanders, hungry for death, and eager to punish drunkards, womanizers, or sometimes innocent victims.

It is said that it sucks the alcohol out of drunkards through their navel when it finds them alone and that it tears womanizers to pieces, removes their bones, and puts them in the sack where it keeps the remains of his father.

[4] Some versions say it appears as a giant of about six meters that moves about the treetops, creaking, and emitting its chilling whistle.
